Review by Victoria Nightingale

Goldberg Variations, the timeless masterpiece of Johann Sebastian Bach, is beautifully rendered by the talented Christophe Rousset in his latest album. The album features Rousset's exquisite interpretation of Bach's intricate and complex variations, bringing out the true essence of the music.

Rousset's performance is masterful, with his delicate touch on the harpsichord bringing alive the intricate harmonies and complex rhythms of the Goldberg Variations. His playing is precise and controlled, yet full of emotion and expression, capturing the essence of Bach's music perfectly.

The album is a must-have for any classical music lover, with Rousset's interpretation of the Goldberg Variations being one of the most beautiful and moving performances of the work. The recording quality is superb, capturing every nuance and detail of Rousset's performance.

About JS Bach Christophe Rousset

Johann Sebastian Bach was born on March 21, 1685 in Eisenach, Thuringia, Germany. A prolific German composer and organist, his sacred and secular works for choir, orchestra and solo instruments drew together the strands of the baroque genre and brought it to its ultimate maturity. Although he introduced no new forms, he enriched the prevailing German style with a robust contrapuntal technique, a control of harmonic and motivic organisation from the smallest to the largest scales, and the adaptation of rhythms and textures from abroad, particularly Italy and France. Many people consider him to be the greatest Baroque composer, and one of the greatest composers of all time. Revered for their intellectual depth, technical command and artistic beauty, J.S. Bach's works include the Brandenburg concertos, the keyboard suites and partitas, the Mass in B Minor, the St. Matthew Passion, The Musical Offering, The Art of Fugue and a large number of cantatas, of which about 220 survive. He died on July 28, 1750. Some of his sons also became composers - , , and .
